It's called "The Happiest Place on Earth" — but one man's actions left vacationers at Disney World understandably frightened, police say.

Police arrested 22-year-old Dillion Burch just after midnight on Monday after they say he went up to people at Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort in Orlando, Florida, and knowingly lied about the hotel being on lockdown because there was an active shooter inside. According to a police report obtained by WKMG, Burch told a worker at the hotel's front desk that he was doing the prank for a YouTube video.

A manager at the hotel told the man he couldn't do the scary prank — and that police were on their way, WKMG reported. He left the hotel lobby and then ran into a parking lot after seeing law enforcement, police say, and was later found hiding in the bushes.
